ABSTRACT

The invention relates to an elastic sealing plug for bathroom facilities, which includes a seat body, a lid body and a filter mesh, wherein the lid body is set on the seat body, the lid body and the seat body is elastic body, the filter mesh is set inside the engagement portion of the seat body, the filter mesh is provided to filter out impurities in water, to thereby effectively prevent pipe obstruction.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION a) Field of the Invention

The invention relates to an elastic sealing plug for bathroom facilities and, more particularly, to an elastic sealing plug provided to install on a drain opening of bathroom facilities, such as wash basins, bathtubs, sinks; the elastic sealing plug is used to control water storage and discharge of bathroom facilities, the feature is that the present invention could filter out impurities in water, so that it could effectively prevent pipe obstruction.

b) Description of Prior Art

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, which is a conventional elastic sealing plug structure for bathroom facilities, the elastic sealing plug 1 is installed on a drain opening 21 of bathroom facilities, such as wash basins, bathtubs, sinks; the elastic sealing plug 1 is used to control water storage and discharge of bathroom facilities, the elastic sealing plug 1 includes a seat body 11 and a lid body 12; a body-size hole 111 is set in the center of the top side 110 of the seat body 11, multiple oblique rids 112 are set along the periphery of the body-size hole 111 convexly, a connection portion 113 is formed by the top of the oblique rids 112, a through hole 114 is set on the connection portion 113, a lower binding face 116 is set on the top side 110 around the outer periphery of the body-size hole 111, an engagement portion 115 is set on the bottom side of the seat body 11; an upper binding face 120 is set on the periphery of the bottom side of the lid body 12, a fixed column 121 is set on the bottom side of the lid body 12 from its center extended downwards, a butt end 122 is set on the end of the fixed column 121, the fixed column 121 is inserted into the through hole 114 of the connection portion 113 of the seat body 11, the butt end 122 is located at the outer side of the through hole 114 to prevent the lid body from escaping out of the seat body 11; since the seat body 11 and the lid body 12 are elastic body, the engagement portion 115 could be tightly engaged to the drain opening 21 of the bathroom facilities 2;

In water storage state, the upper binding face 120 of the lid body 12 is bound to the lower binding face 116 of the seat body 11 to form an adhesion state, so as to provide the bathroom facilities 2 for water storage. When a user wants to discharge water, he could press the central part of the lid body 12 by a finger, at this time, the lid body 12 would be deformed to flip upwards due to the pressure, so that the upper binding face 120 does not bind to the lower binding face 116 and a gap is formed for water drainage. If the user wants to store water, he may press the periphery of the lid body 12, so that the upper binding face 120 may bind to the lower binding face 116 again to form the adhesion state for water storage.

It is inevitable that some impurities may be left in the water stored in the bathroom facilities after being used. Impurities include hairs, incrustation, debris and etc., pipe obstruction may easily be caused once impurities are drained, especially impurities with slightly larger volume. It is troublesome to clean up when pipe is blocked, and this is a big problem in water use. Although structure of the conventional elastic sealing plug 1 could provide convenience of installation and operation, the problem that impurities in water may cause pipe obstruction cannot be solved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, which is the elastic sealing plug 3 of the present invention, including a seat body 31, a lid body 32 and a filter mesh 33, wherein:

a seat body 31, a body-size hole 311 is set in the center of its top side 310, multiple oblique rids 312 are set along the periphery of the body-size hole 311 convexly, a connection portion 313 is formed by the top of the oblique rids 312, a through hole 314 is set on the connection portion 313, a lower binding face 316 is set on the top side 310 around the outer periphery of the body-size hole 311, an engagement portion 315 is set on the bottom side of the seat body 31, a positioning slot 317 is set on the inner periphery of the engagement portion 315;

the lid body 32, an upper binding face 320 is set on the periphery of its bottom side, a fixed column 321 is set on the bottom side of the lid body 32 from its center extended downwards, a butt end 322 is set on the end of the fixed column 321, the fixed column 321 is inserted into the through hole 314 of the connection portion 313 of the seat body 31, the butt end 322 is located at the outer side of the through hole 314 to prevent the lid body 32 from escaping out of the seat body 31;

the filter mesh 33, which is set inside the engagement portion 315 of the seat body 31, multiple mesh openings 322 are set densely on the filter mesh 33, a positioning flange 333 is set on the periphery 331 of the filter mesh 33, the positioning flange 333 is set on the positioning slot 317.

The above seat body 31 is an elastic body.

The above lid body 32 is an elastic body.

FIG. 5 is the embodiment of water storage state of the present invention, wherein the engagement portion 315 of the elastic sealing plug 3 of the present invention could tightly engage with the drain opening 41 of the bathroom facilities 4. In water storage state, the upper binding face 320 of the lid body 32 is bound to the lower binding face 316 of the seat body 31 to form an adhesion state, so as to provide the bathroom facilities 4 for water storage.

FIG. 6 is the embodiment of water drainage of the present invention, when a user wants to discharge water stored in the bathroom facilities, he may press the central part of the lid body 32 by a finger, at this time, the lid body 32 would be deformed to flip upwards due to the pressure, so that the upper binding face 320 does not bind to the lower binding face 316 and a gap is formed for water drainage.
